Flood damage in your home means you need the help of SERVPRO. We use the latest equipment and technology for all disasters. We will help!

Migrating moisture can  Cause Substantial Structural Issues for Glen Head Properties. 

After flooding, your home can be devastated. While the focus is often on the damage you can see, all the water must get addressed. We have powerful tools and strategies to overcome trapped floodwater in area homes.

Identifying the Presence of Trapped Moisture 

With several tools and devices in our inventory to identify trapped water pockets in porous construction elements, flood damage in Glen Head homes can be more easily managed. While superficial damage and surface water concerns are quickly identified, these advanced devices are necessary for tracking moisture movement.

Drying Damp Pockets in Wall Systems 

Wall systems can be a point where water can collect and become trapped. Migrating moisture seeking a balance between damp and dry areas of the property can use porous materials and open space in wall systems to achieve this equilibrium. As a result, moist pockets are formed that can be identified with moisture meters and thermal imagery cameras. We have several methods for addressing these trapped threats, including:

• Positive/Negative Pressure Systems
• Flood Cuts and Centrifugal Air Movers
• Wall Demolition and Axial Air Movers/Extraction

Water can easily become trapped in wall systems and structural cavities without the notice of the homeowner. Our SERVPRO of Glen Cove / Jericho can help get these areas dried and restored to avoid damaging secondary effects like mold growth and degradation. Give us a call today at (516) 671-1919.
